DataSheet_2_Plume Layer Influences the Amazon Reef Sponge Microbiome Primary Producers.xlsx
, 2022 Symbiont relationships between corals and photosynthetic microorganisms sustain coral reef existence. However, the Great Amazon Reef System (GARS) stays under a plume layer that attenuates the entry of light, and instead of corals, sponges are the major ...

Phylogenetically and spatially close marine sponges harbour divergent bacterial communities. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Recent studies have unravelled the diversity of sponge-associated bacteria that may play essential roles in sponge health and metabolism. Nevertheless, our understanding of this microbiota remains limited to a few host species found in restricted ...

CTD profiles of the global Deep-sea Sponge Microbiome Project
, 2022 The Deep-sea Sponge Microbiome Project is a large-scale study, integrating 16S amplicon sequencing data with oceanographic data. The present dataset contains 66 full water conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) profiles which were recorded in different ...

mSystems, 2019 Sponges establish tight associations with both micro- and macroorganisms. However, while studies on sponge microbiomes are numerous, nothing is currently known about the microbiomes of sponge-associated polychaetes and their relationships with those of ...

Stability of a dominant sponge‐symbiont in spite of antibiotic‐induced microbiome disturbance
, 2022 Marine sponges are known for their complex and stable microbiomes. However, the lack of a gnotobiotic sponge-model and experimental methods to manipulate both the host and the microbial symbionts currently limit our mechanistic understanding of sponge ...

Characterizing the microbiomes of Antarctic sponges: a functional metagenomic approach [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractRelatively little is known about the role of sponge microbiomes in the Antarctic marine environment, where sponges may dominate the benthic landscape. Specifically, we understand little about how taxonomic and functional diversity contributes to the symbiotic lifestyle and aids in nutrient cycling.

, 2022 Background: Sponges are ancient sessile metazoans, which form with their associated microbial symbionts a complex functional unit called a holobiont. Sponges are a rich source of chemical diversity; however, there is limited knowledge of which holobiont ...

Expression of eukaryotic‐like protein in the microbiome of sponges
Molecular Ecology, 2017 AbstractEukaryotic‐like proteins (ELPs) are classes of proteins that are found in prokaryotes, but have a likely evolutionary origin in eukaryotes. ELPs have been postulated to mediate host–microbiome interactions. Recent work has discovered that prokaryotic symbionts of sponges contain abundant and diverse genes for ELPs, which could modulate ...
